Details: Trump said he hopes it doesn’t come to that. By the time he would take over as president, it would be a long time, more than nine months. He stated that this was “an eternity” for war and politics.
Trump emphasised that Russia had a powerful army, and although Ukrainians were very brave, he believed that it was necessary to negotiate and seek a compromise.
He also noted that the issue of the war in Ukraine was very painful for him, because if he were president, Putin would never have dared to invade.
Quote: “I would have negotiated a deal. I don’t even know if I would have had to negotiate, because they never would have attacked if I was president.
If we had a real leader, he [Putin] would have never done that. Remember, he didn’t do it. For four years, he didn’t do it. And there was no real threat that he would do it.
And I spoke to him about that, I said, ‘You can’t do it.’ […] He would have never done it if I was president, and all those people would be living, and all those great cities – you know, those ancient domes, you can’t replace that. Those golden domes, they were beautiful, they were a thousand years old. You can’t replace that culture. […] It’s a terrible situation.”
